Terry Reedy :

Corn start (or any starch) should work as well. It is finer than most
flours (which also are mostly starch).




Don and Terry,

Even better is to use talc (talcum powder ?). One may find it here in

I do not know if this is true elsewhere.

It is difficult to find in the US, as some felt it leads to lung
